about

The most stripped down song on the whole album. Nothing
here but acoustic guitar and pedal steel.

lyrics

There’s a fox far in the meadow, with the flowers and the trees in the air
And Elks lie in the water, while pastures hold herds from the hills
There’s a ladder to a pine, It’s a staircase to the stars in the sky
And the satellites above they fly so very far away
And It's been said a thousand times before

But I won’t be around much more my dear
But I can say it’s been a ride for sure

And I won’t see this light much longer now
But I wont say I haven’t loved it all

In December when it’s cold, in the weight and loss of another year
But in springtime I’ll decide, and I’ll drive this car on to town
With guitar in my hand, I’ll find a place to sing my song

And I’ll shout it from the bow, I’ll shout it as were sinking slow

And it’s sad because I hope I’m wrong
In spite of all these old love songs
And I search and search for the words to say

(Chorus)
